One lens I didn't really look at was the 'Nikon 24-120MM F3.5-5.6G AF-S VR IF-ED'. I take it, this lens is also an FX lens?

As most of you are hinting that for an FX body the 24-120mm would be better for longer zoom reach, I know this lens isn't the f/4, but would it be any good to go with a FX body? The 24-120mm f/3.5-5.5 version is the same price as the 24-85mm I was considering.

Thanks,

Liam.

That is an older lens; from what I read it's optics are way inferior to the current 24-120F4 .... never owned it though.

You'd be better off with the 24-85mm VR. Shorter range, but at least it's clean on that range.
